''Failing to drive off the dogs, he tried to break his way to the opposite shore but made it only for some 300 feet before giving up and turning back. He was probably fighting the dogs all the way.

MONDAY LEGAL HOLIDAY FOR STORES, POSTOFFICE Union istores, the bank, post offices and city and county offices will be closed Monday, Jan. 2 observance of New Year's Day. According to a Missouri statute, whenever a legal holiday falls on Sunday, the next following Monday shall be construed as such holiday, Corn Allotments Available for '56 Any producer who intends to plant corn in 1956 on a farm where no corn was planted during 1953, 1954 or 1955 must apply for a corn acreage allotment if he wants price support on his farm in 1956, Walter Brunjcs, chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said this week. Marketing quotas do not apply to corn, he explained; however, under the acreage allotment program, 1956 production on a farm which has no corn acreage allotment would make all the corn produced on such farm ineligible for price support in 1956. Application forms for a corn ac reage allotment are available at the County ASC Office.

A third vagrant, Calvin McDan-iel, Washington, was arrested in Krakow and is serving a 30-day jail sentence. M B f nappy. -Wow Y ear!

For the Tribune's page one this week we have "1955" appearing below the nameplate for the last time. So as a gesture of "farewell and good luck wherever you go" to good old "1955," we took this meat-market-size type face and rolled it out above. And, it seems to have served at least one purpose. That last digit has drawn up his shoulders and for the first and last time has taken on bold proportions. And this three-column banner headline is here for another reason too. It seems lilting that at least once a year, such a benevolent wish should override all the material headlined like shootings, accidents, meetings, deaths and damage suits. But mainly, the old year's on its way out, most of us will observe the new year in one way or another, and we of the Tribune want to get right up here high on page one to make sure you don't miss our sincere wishes that beginning Sunday morning at 12:01 the new year will be a most wonderful one for you and yours.

MONDAY LEGAL HOLIDAY FOR STORES, POSTOFFICE Union istores, the bank, post offices and city and county offices will be closed Monday, Jan. 2 observance of New Year's Day. According to a Missouri statute, whenever a legal holiday falls on Sunday, the next following Monday shall be construed as such holiday, Corn Allotments Available for '56 Any producer who intends to plant corn in 1956 on a farm where no corn was planted during 1953, 1954 or 1955 must apply for a corn acreage allotment if he wants price support on his farm in 1956, Walter Brunjcs, chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said this week. Marketing quotas do not apply to corn, he explained; however, under the acreage allotment program, 1956 production on a farm which has no corn acreage allotment would make all the corn produced on such farm ineligible for price support in 1956. Application forms for a corn ac reage allotment are available at the County ASC Office. Unutry 31, 15, is the last day such ap plications nay be filed. 2 Ohio Escapees Awaiting Release Two escaped inmates of the Apple Creek State Hospital in Apple Creek, O., were in jail earlier this week awaiting probable release.

A third vagrant, Calvin McDan-iel, Washington, was arrested in Krakow and is serving a 30-day jail sentence. M B f nappy. -Wow Y ear!

For the Tribune's page one this week we have "1955" appearing below the nameplate for the last time. So as a gesture of "farewell and good luck wherever you go" to good old "1955," we took this meat-market-size type face and rolled it out above. And, it seems to have served at least one purpose. That last digit has drawn up his shoulders and for the first and last time has taken on bold proportions. And this three-column banner headline is here for another reason too. It seems lilting that at least once a year, such a benevolent wish should override all the material headlined like shootings, accidents, meetings, deaths and damage suits. But mainly, the old year's on its way out, most of us will observe the new year in one way or another, and we of the Tribune want to get right up here high on page one to make sure you don't miss our sincere wishes that beginning Sunday morning at 12:01 the new year will be a most wonderful one for you and yours.
